A
a speed of 4 knots
B
"I wish to communicate with you by sound signals"
C
the wind is from the south
D
a distance of 4 miles
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) "I wish to communicate with you by sound signals". The signal K4 is part of the International Code of Signals used for visual and sound communication at sea. The letter "K" indicates a desire to communicate, and the number "4" specifies that the communication will be via sound signals, such as a whistle or horn. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the meaning of the K4 signal. Option A refers to a speed, Option C refers to wind direction, and Option D refers to a distance, none of which are the proper interpretation of the K4 signal.
